You could always compile the .BAT file into a .COM file then convert the 
.COM to an .EXE.  I just converted a batch file using a PC Mag app written 
in 1990 and it worked fine.  It's a couple of extra steps and I don't know 
how well it would work with sophisticated batch files but it may be an 
option for you.
